JSW Greentech has selected Siemens Xcelerator software to support the development and manufacturing of its AMPSTAR electric buses and trucks, as the company works to establish its commercial electric vehicle manufacturing capabilities in India.

Announced on 3 November 2026, the implementation will connect engineering, product development and manufacturing processes across the company’s research and development centre in Pune and its planned greenfield manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra.

The software deployment will include Siemens Teamcenter for product lifecycle management (PLM) and Mendix for supplier and business-process collaboration. The initiative is intended to improve engineering coordination, strengthen product traceability and streamline vehicle development.

Siemens Teamcenter to integrate engineering and product data

Teamcenter will provide a common platform for managing product and engineering information, including bills of materials, product structures, requirements, programme planning and engineering changes. It will also facilitate coordination between mechanical and electrical engineering teams.

The implementation will include integration with JSW Greentech’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to synchronise engineering and business information. A supplier portal developed using Mendix will extend collaboration to external suppliers and business partners.

JSW Greentech chief executive officer Sumit Mittal said the collaboration would support the development and manufacture of the company’s electric commercial vehicles.

Mathew Thomas, vice-president and managing director for India at Siemens Digital Industries Software, said connected engineering and lifecycle management would provide a foundation for expanding vehicle development efficiently.

JSW Greentech plans electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Maharashtra

Established in 2024, JSW Greentech is the JSW Group’s commercial electric vehicle business. Its AMPSTAR brand focuses on electric buses and trucks designed for Indian operating conditions.

The company is developing a greenfield manufacturing facility spread across approximately 90 acres in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. According to its published plans, the facility is expected to have an annual manufacturing capacity of 10,000 electric buses and 5,000 electric trucks.

The manufacturing programme also includes plans for battery manufacturing capabilities and the integration of ERP, product lifecycle management and manufacturing execution systems.

Meanwhile, the company’s Pune engineering centre is responsible for in-house technology development, prototype testing, connected-vehicle systems and software development.

JSW Greentech’s strategy combines internal engineering capabilities with international technology partnerships and localisation initiatives. The Siemens software implementation forms part of this broader effort to establish integrated vehicle development and manufacturing operations.

Role of product lifecycle management in electric vehicle development

Product lifecycle management systems enable manufacturers to manage product information throughout the design, development, production and maintenance stages.

Siemens Teamcenter provides a centralised environment for managing engineering data, coordinating design activities, communicating requirements and tracking product changes across departments.

For commercial vehicle manufacturers, this allows mechanical, electrical and other engineering teams to work with consistent product information. It also helps maintain controlled records of specifications and design revisions as vehicles progress from development towards production.

How bill-of-materials management supports manufacturing operations

A bill of materials (BOM) provides a structured record of the components and assemblies required to manufacture a product.

Teamcenter supports the management of mechanical, electrical, electronic and software components within a common product structure. Its capabilities include tracking engineering changes, maintaining historical configurations and managing different product variants.

The platform can also connect product information with enterprise systems, including ERP platforms, enabling manufacturers to coordinate component requirements, engineering revisions and production planning.

For JSW Greentech, these capabilities are intended to support coordination between its engineering operations, suppliers and manufacturing systems as the AMPSTAR vehicle programme develops.

The announcement confirms Siemens as the software provider for the programme but does not disclose the contract value, implementation completion timeline or quantified improvements in vehicle development time. It also does not announce any truck orders or fleet deployments.
